Garibaldi
Garibaldi is a 7-limit (and higher) temperament of the schismatic family. It is an extension of helmholtz temperament beyond the 5-limit but with the same simple chain-of-fifths structure (so that standard notation may be used). As in helmholtz temperament, 5/4 is mapped to the diminished fourth (e.g. C–F♭), and the new mapping specific to garibaldi is that 7/4 is mapped to the doubly-diminished octave (e.g. C–C𝄫). This makes garibaldi a marvel temperament.
Immediate 11-limit extensions include cassandra (41 & 53), mapping 11/8 to +23 fifths, andromeda (29 & 41), mapping 11/8 to −18 fifths, and helenus (53 & 65d), mapping 11/8 to −30 fifths. Garibaldi is most naturally a 2.3.5.7.19 subgroup temperament due to its immediate availability of 19/16 at the minor third (C–E♭). This is sometimes known as garibaldi nestoria.
Garibaldi was named in honor of Eduardo Sábat-Garibaldi, who developed the dinarra, a 53-tone microtonal guitar in the 1/9-schisma tuning.

Notation
Using garibaldi can be a challenge because it defies the tradition of tertian harmony in chain-of-fifths notation. The just major triad on C is C–Fb–G, for example. One may want to adopt an additional module of accidentals such as arrows to represent the comma step, allowing them to write the chord above as C–vE–G.
Ratio | Nominal | Example |
---|---|---|
3/2 | Perfect fifth | C–G |
5/4 | Downmajor third | C–vE |
7/4 | Downminor seventh | C–vBb |
11/8 | Double-up fourth | C–^^F |
13/8 | Double-up minor sixth | C–^^Ab |
19/16 | Minor third | C–Eb |
Ratio | Nominal | Example |
---|---|---|
11/8 | Down-diminished fifth Double-down augmented fourth |
C–vGb C–vvF# |
13/8 | Double downmajor sixth | C–vvA |
Ratio | Nominal | Example |
---|---|---|
11/8 | Double-down diminished fifth Triple-down augmented fourth |
C–vvGb C–v3F# |
13/8 | Triple-down major sixth | C–v3A |
Chords and harmony
Traditional tertian harmony is effective. The default triads on the Pythagorean spine are undevicesimal in quality:
- 1–19/15–3/2 (C–E–G)
- 1–19/16–3/2 (C–Eb–G)
Note that the major third also represents 24/19, and the minor third, 13/11. These chords are typically associated with a sort of coldness and metalness, like those in 12edo if not more so.
If a warm, sweet, laid-back sound is desired, the thirds can be inflected inwards by a comma to yield
- 1–5/4–3/2 (C–vE–G)
- 1–6/5–3/2 (C–^Eb–G)
Contrarily, for a more sour and active sound, they can be inflected outwards by a comma to yield
- 1–9/7–3/2 (C–^E-G)
- 1–7/6–3/2 (C–vEb-G)
